A story of Sellers and the hornets' nest

Ray Hall

Sometime in the late spring of 1941, my cousin Sellers, my Uncle Forrest Hall’s oldest son, and Bobby Orr, the oldest son of Bill Joe and Ester Bell Orr, were walking along Red Hill Road just about where it used to curve to the left in front of Refuge Church and connected to Martin Dam Road. 

It was still a dirt road at that time. There was a wooded area on the east side of the road, across from the church. On the opposite side of the road Mr. Milton Griffith had a home that still stands today, about where Martin Dam Road joins Red Hill Road.
